This zesty meatball recipe is always a hit with any crowd. The basic, two-ingredient sauce can be switched up by simply combining Heinz chili sauce with any sweet spread such as peach jam, grape jelly, or mango chutney. And, for the ultimate shortcut, you can use prepared meatballs.

Nasty Cake
This is the absolute best Southern cake recipe ever. A friend of mine gave me this, and said her momma from Georgia gave it to her. We call it 'Nasty Cake' because it is so good, but has so many calories. This is not for those trying to watch their weight! Use a deep cake pan.
Mango Daiquiri
For this quick and easy mango daiquiri, I like to use frozen mangoes which eliminates the need for ice and will not water down the drink. Switch it up and use any frozen fruit you like.
Cranberry Spaghetti
In this cranberry spaghetti, jellied cranberry sauce provides a sweet-tart kick when combined with jarred spaghetti sauce. Served over angel hair pasta, this recipe will feed a crowd.
